mk1 Posted January 30, 2015 Report Posted January 30, 2015 My 8 year old son talked me into a midlife crisis car....So we went to the factory and spent 2 days watching them build her. I got to start her on the line. 5
Tucker Posted January 30, 2015 Report Posted January 30, 2015 Nice ride mk!! whats the HP and TQ? i just treated myself, not quite mid-life, but a long-time desire. New Telecaster, butt custom, the body made from Eastern Pine out of an old Grain Elevator that was built in 1870. It is made by a guy doing this type of work for over 40 years, and bonus - he is 10 minutes from my home. 1
mk1 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Report Posted January 30, 2015 Thanks! Nice axe! The HP and TQ are both 650! 0-60 in a shade under 3 seconds
Tucker Posted January 30, 2015 Report Posted January 30, 2015 Fast and snappy !! blink and you miss it have a ton of fun with that, save some $$ fir tires :0
CeramicChef Posted January 30, 2015 Report Posted January 30, 2015 Some cure for a mid-life crisis! You make certain you thank that 8 year old son of yours! I bet that he NEVER forgets those 2 days spent with Dad!
DennisLinkletter Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 MK1 and I are close friends and living this purchase vicariously thru him has been awesome. Nothing better than new toys that put a sheet-eating grin on your face! Congrats again! 1
GoFrogs91 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Posted February 1, 2015 Nice ride. Better that mid-life indulgence versus some others.
DennisLinkletter Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Those tires look like they are solid rubber! Such badass Darth Vader ride.. Congrats again..
CeramicChef Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 MK1 - That is one very sweet ride! Now you make me want to go get one. I swore I was done with Vette's, 911s, etc. Now I'm beginning to rethink my impetuous decision. Dadgummit it all anyway!
tony b Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Those tires look like they are solid rubber! Such badass Darth Vader ride.. Congrats again.. Reminds me of the BatMobile! Reactor to power, turbines to speed!! 1
FotonDrv Posted November 23, 2016 Report Posted November 23, 2016 I am very envious of that sweet ride!!! I was in a local showroom drooling over one a month ago and comparing it to a friends Porsche. My inclination is to Buy American.
Bruce Pearson Posted November 23, 2016 Report Posted November 23, 2016 Sweet ride. Those new vetts are a work of art.
ckreef Posted November 23, 2016 Report Posted November 23, 2016 How did I miss this post before. A car of my dreams. I've been looking at everything on the Internet about new vettes for a while now. Unfortunately I'd have to win the lottery to get one but I guess I can dream. Very jealous of you.
tinyfish Posted November 24, 2016 Report Posted November 24, 2016 I missed this too. What a great car!! That would look great in my garage...too bad the wife doesn't feel the same way.
mk1 Posted November 28, 2016 Author Report Posted November 28, 2016 Still loving her! Thanks everyone! Happy Holidays 3
